A swim spa is one of the few site-built water features in a villa or resort project that has to be right on paper before anything is poured, wired or delivered. The Outdoor Swim Spa WS-S07M is a 7-metre configurable unit in our outdoor swim and hydrotherapy range, and it suits a specific kind of project rather than every project. Whether it is the right model for your site depends on details that are easy to settle early and expensive to change later. Below are the project details we ask buyers, designers and contractors to confirm first.

1. The usable footprint, not just the model name

The catalogue lists WS-S07M at 7000 × 2200 × 1480 mm. Those are shell dimensions, so the project drawing has to allow for what surrounds them: access steps on one side, plant and filter access that stays reachable after cladding goes on, drainage around the perimeter, and clearance for delivery and lifting into position. A terrace or garden room that fits 7 m in a straight line may still fail once the steps, coping and maintenance access are drawn in.

Send us the plan drawing with the intended orientation marked, together with the finished floor level and any retaining or boundary wall within two metres of the footprint. From that we can tell you quickly whether this model sits well on the slab or whether a shorter unit from our swimming pools and swim spas range fits the space better.

2. Water depth and how the spa will actually be used

Depth is a usage decision, not a technical footnote. The WS-S07M catalog depth of 1480 mm sits between the shallower and deeper shells in the same series — for comparison, the closely related 7-metre model WS-S07B is listed at 7000 × 2200 × 1335 mm, while WS-S06M at 5900 × 2200 × 1610 mm goes deeper in a shorter shell. For guest bathing, seated hydrotherapy and children's use under supervision, the shallower shells are usually the more comfortable choice. For taller adults who want to stand and work against the water columns, the deeper shells make more sense.

Write down who will use the spa and for what — daily lap-style exercise, rehabilitation, hotel guest leisure, or occasional resort entertaining. That single sentence changes which shell we recommend more than any other input.

3. Jets, water columns and the hydrotherapy programme

The captured specification for WS-S07M shows a jet total of 40 pcs together with four water columns, three water pumps and one filter pump, plus ozone sanitation and two LED lights. The other 7-metre model in the range is listed with 48 jets, no water columns and a different total power figure, so similar-looking shells are not interchangeable on performance.

For project work we ask for the hydrotherapy intent per location: which positions are for seated massage, which are for upper-body or leg therapy, and whether the water columns are wanted as a feature wall for guests or as a resistance element for training. Hotel and resort projects benefit from one detail drawing that shows jet positions against the seating layout, because it fixes both the shell selection and the plumbing rough-in in the same review.

4. Electrical supply and total connected load

The site lists a total power figure of 10.75 kW for the WS-S07M configuration as captured. Treat that number as the starting point for an electrical discussion, not as the final design value: adding a heat pump, extra pumps or additional lighting changes the connected load, and the supply available at the villa or plant room may be single-phase where a three-phase feed is needed once options are added.

Before we lock a quotation, we need the incoming supply details from the site — phase, available capacity, the position of the distribution board relative to the spa, and who is responsible for the final connection. Local electrical work and any required approvals are carried out by your contractor under local regulations; we confirm the equipment requirements so their engineer has accurate data to design against.

5. Insulation, heating and the running climate

A swim spa that is used year-round in a cool climate behaves differently from one used seasonally in a warm region. The catalogue lists insulation and heat pumps among the options for this range, and both belong in the budget at the design stage rather than as a later addition. Tell us the installation location, whether the space is covered or open, and the months you expect regular use. That determines the insulation package, the heating capacity to quote, and how the unit should be commissioned on site.

6. Filtration, sterilisation and the maintenance routine

WS-S07M is shown with ozone and a single filter pump; sand filtration and UV sterilisation appear in the range as options. In a hospitality setting, where water quality has to hold up under frequent and unpredictable use, the treatment package needs to match the expected guest load and the cleaning routine your staff can realistically follow. Ask yourself who maintains the spa after handover — an in-house technician or a housekeeping team with limited training — and choose the simpler, more robust package if the answer is the latter.

7. Access, delivery route and lifting

A 7-metre shell arrives as a component of a project shipment, and the last hundred metres cause most of the trouble. Confirm the delivery access at site level: gate width, overhead obstruction, whether a crane or forklift can reach the position, and whether the unit must be moved across finished surfaces. We organise logistics and door-to-door delivery, including packaging and container loading planning, but we need those site constraints in writing before dispatch so the route is solved in the factory rather than on arrival.

8. What has to be coordinated with the rest of the project

A swim spa rarely stands alone. It sits inside a package that includes poolside and outdoor furniture for villas and resorts, wall and floor finishes around the deck, lighting, and sometimes pergolas or screens that shade the area. When these come from one supplier under a single project schedule, dimensions, levels and finishes are checked together instead of in isolation — which is where most water-feature coordination problems come from.

If your project needs that kind of coordination, our turnkey solutions cover design consultation and space planning, product specification, production and quality control, project management and site coordination, through to installation and handover.
